I did take a look at them and bookmarked one of the news sites, thanks 👍

The only issue with that is their prices go up if their costs go up. Kind of like how grocery stores claim that theft causes prices to go up. It is their money, though it does feel bad paying them.
I stopped looking at Lemmy for a long time, up until yesterday, due to the content being really depressing. Reddit didn’t hate society, capitalism, or really everything as much as the Lemmy users seem to. I might stop doomscrolling here again.
Oooh, pirates!
Maybe simple to Chris Angel and his magic.
Thanks! Subscribed.
That’s a fair point, though I can’t imagine doing any of that kind of work on an ultralight, or whatever this is.
Nvidia graphics, weird. Looks like a Macbook. Also not a huge fan of Gnome, but still good to see them get some support.
And it’s still a brick, lol.
Or it could be like how our competition bureau is being forced to pay $13 million to Rogers Cable for inconveniencing them with an investigation when Rogers Cable decided to buy Shaw Cable. And the deal went through. Can you imagine?
I ran into this too. I had this RP moment where I was going to convert my character to a wizard based on where the conversation was going. I realised what was going on and pulled my character out of the conversation and went with my original idea, getting Withers to convert my character to a wizard. In my mind, that’s how the story went.
That’s because you need to use more transparent ink.
I believe Gnome has great support for touchscreens including gestures. I don’t have a touchscreen to test, though.
I roll with an ad-blocker for the reasons you mention as well as because I hate seeing ads. I know I’m part of the problem and part of the reason news sites are putting up paywalls now. Granted, even if nobody used ad-blockers, I’m not sure how sustainable everything online being ad-supported would be. The point is, they are expecting to be supported by ad revenue and I’m likely helping to screw that up.
It’s something that I’m not going to stop doing, but I don’t make any excuses: I’m pirating their shit and rarely offering a different form of compensation. I’m subscribed to YouTube Premium even though I can easily block those ads too. I’m not, however, going to throw money at every website I find useful.
I would advise anyone to run an ad-blocker but they should also consider the moral aspect of it too. I don’t know what the solution is, but I’m a pirate in the meantime.
Ad-blockers are technically piracy. It doesn’t matter how unfair the ads are, they are what fund the creators (or the creators through YouTube). I don’t seem to recall him berating people for ad-blocking, he just said that people should accept that they are pirating the content. I guess people don’t like self-reflecting when they are labelled.
At the time, I hated using these things. Mac OS 9 would lock up unexpectedly (generally Windows wouldn’t blue screen while simply typing up a document whereas these iMacs would just freeze, requiring you to stick a paperclip into a hole like ejecting a CD drive manually). The keyboard was terrible, mouse was worse and the speakers were only good to play notification dings.
This author of the article has some real rose-tinted glasses.
That’s a strange existence. Can’t say that I can relate.
I remember something about that from The Matrix.
